On the subject of getting statistics, you mentioned an incarceration explosion from the 1980s to the 1990s and then a further explosion now. Do you actually mean that just as a continual secular trend in the direction of more blacks being incarcerated? I'm just going to put this all together because I won't have time for you to come back and give me multiple answers to multiple questions. I assume this is in the environment of overall incarceration rates actually starting to go down. If we look at blacks within the overall prison population, I assume the percentage is going up more than the black population of the percentage of the overall population is. Is that a distinct phenomenon from overall incarceration rates within Canadian society?
